Joe Bataan - Ordinary Guy video free download

Lyrics:
I can't move a mountain top
Everything's ordinary on my block
I don't drive a beautiful car and
I don't own an elegant home
I don't have thousands to spend
Or a sea side cottage for the weekend
I'm just an
Ordinary guy
You left behind
Ordinary guy
You left behind
Exclusive night clubs,
Are out of style with me
Cause, I don't associate, with high society
I don't hang around playboy millionaires
I'm just an
Ordinary guy
You left behind
Ordinary guy
You left behind
Subways take me downtown
My apartment is my home
I spend weekends with friends
Otherwise I'm alone
Walk hard
Pay me no mind
You're ashamed of me
You girl
Walk hard passing by
Don't you know that I'm not the guy
Moving non stop
You can't see beyond my block
I'm never gonna let you go

Joe sang our daily life in the streets of New York. Hearing him sing today brings back a lot of strong memories. I still feel chills today, as I did back in the day, when he sings, "Walk on, pay me no mind, you're ashamed of me."11 years ago

Wow! No wonder why he has so much Motown soul. I was detecting an Afro-Jazz Funk element somewhere..Related Videos
